Motions
Who moved, who seconded, how it carried
MinuteMage detects motion language, links the second, and reads the vote — unanimous, counted, or failed — into a table your secretary can verify at a glance.
Record the meeting, upload it, and MinuteMage returns a formatted draft — with every motion, second, vote, and action item extracted into the parliamentary record your bylaws actually require.
Transcription runs locally — recordings never leave your machine
The meeting was Tuesday. Somebody has to reconstruct who moved what, who seconded, and how the vote went — from memory and a page of scribbles.
Prose summaries miss who moved, who seconded, and the count — the part that's legally meaningful.
For a volunteer with a job, minutes are the chore that makes people quit the board.
Nobody wrote down who agreed to call the roofer, so nobody calls the roofer.
Late minutes mean last month's business sits unapproved into the next meeting.
Motions, seconds, votes, and assignments get extracted into a table — the record other tools flatten into a paragraph.

Local transcription. Board recordings never leave the building.
Commitments pulled out as a checklist with owners.
A 90-minute meeting drafts while you make coffee.
Call to order, roll, approval of prior minutes, reports, old and new business, adjournment — sections omitted when the meeting didn't cover them.
Every output is marked as a draft aid, not an official record until the board adopts it. Your secretary stays in charge.
Any phone or laptop. Any common audio or video format.
Transcription runs locally — no upload to anyone's cloud.
Motions and votes in a table; fix anything the room garbled.
Export and circulate for adoption at the next meeting.
Priced against what it replaces: two hours a month of the one person willing to be secretary.
Try it on one meeting.
Every meeting, every committee.
No. Transcription runs on your own machine. That was a deliberate design choice — board discussions can involve delinquencies, disputes, and personnel.
No, and it says so on every page. Minutes become official when the board adopts them. MinuteMage removes the typing, not the judgment.
Extraction degrades gracefully — you still get a timestamped transcript and whatever motions were audible, so the secretary edits rather than starts over.
Not yet. Speaker identification is the next feature. Today it captures what was moved and how it carried, which is the part your bylaws care about.
